  2. Binary code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_code

    Binary code. The word 'Wikipedia' represented in ASCII binary code, made up of 9 bytes (72 bits). A binary code represents text, computer processor instructions, or any other data using a two-symbol system. The two-symbol system used is often "0" and "1" from the binary number system. The binary code assigns a pattern of binary digits, also ...

  3. Arecibo message - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arecibo_message

    The last part is a graphic representing the Arecibo radio telescope and indicating its diameter with a binary representation of the number 2,430; multiplying by the wavelength of 126 mm gives 306.18 m (1,004 ft 6 in). In this case, the number is oriented horizontally, with the least-significant-digit marker to the lower right in the image.

  4. Genealogical numbering systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genealogical_numbering_systems

    The atree or Binary Ahnentafel method is based on the same numbering of nodes, but first converts the numbers to binary notation and then converts each 0 to M (for Male) and each 1 to F (for Female). The first character of each code (shown as X in the table below) is M if the subject is male and F if the subject is female.

  5. Barcode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcode

    A barcode or bar code is a method of representing data in a visual, machine-readable form. Initially, barcodes represented data by varying the widths, spacings and sizes of parallel lines. These barcodes, now commonly referred to as linear or one-dimensional (1D), can be scanned by special optical scanners, called barcode readers, of which ...

  6. Binary number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_number

    A binary number may also refer to a rational number that has a finite representation in the binary numeral system, that is, the quotient of an integer by a power of two. The base-2 numeral system is a positional notation with a radix of 2. Each digit is referred to as a bit, or binary digit.

  7. Visual cryptography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_cryptography

    Visual cryptography is a cryptographic technique which allows visual information (pictures, text, etc.) to be encrypted in such a way that the decrypted information appears as a visual image. One of the best-known techniques has been credited to Moni Naor and Adi Shamir, who developed it in 1994. [1] They demonstrated a visual secret sharing ...

  8. Huffman coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huffman_coding

    Huffman tree generated from the exact frequencies of the text "this is an example of a huffman tree". Encoding the sentence with this code requires 135 (or 147) bits, as opposed to 288 (or 180) bits if 36 characters of 8 (or 5) bits were used (This assumes that the code tree structure is known to the decoder and thus does not need to be counted as part of the transmitted information).

  9. Karnaugh map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karnaugh_map

    This image actually shows two Karnaugh maps: for the function ƒ, using minterms (colored rectangles) and for its complement, using maxterms (gray rectangles). In the image, E () signifies a sum of minterms, denoted in the article as . The Karnaugh map (KM or K-map) is a method of simplifying Boolean algebra expressions.
